One Republic live concert @O2 Arena

What can i say… I had the time of my life! When I first found out I was going to go I was really happy ’cause i’ve always listened to One Republic, but didn’t really know what to expect from their live. The result has been awesome: they have sung all their best hits plus songs from the new album “Native”, sometimes also switching to the a capella versions.

It all started with a white sheet hanging in front of the stage with them playing “Light It Up” behind it, allowing us only to see their shadows. They then followed with all their best hits. “Good Life” was incredible, with a projection of images and videos taken from London on the background. Loved it.

All throughout the event Ryan was fun and entertaining. Not much from the rest of the band though, he was the only one to speak. Anyway, he joked around, and it seemed he was having a great time too. He also performed other random songs such as “Budapest” by George Ezra, “Stay with me” by Sam Smith and “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. Impossible to get bored.

They closed with one of my favourites, “If I Lose Myself”, totally bringing down the O2. The show lasted around an hour and a half but we all could have gone on! Definitely a concert that has positively surprised me (except for Ryan’s hairdo) and that I will remember.

I’m sorry for the bad images and shaky video, I was far and that’s how far my iPhone can go!
